EPAs for one!) in this immoral stranglehold this fucked-up West imposes on the rest of the world, that cannot defend itself against "our" (?) brutalised policies and our willingness, to impose "our" (?) will on the world. China, remembering her own experieces in suffering through the West, is watching us keenly, I bet! Samuel P. Huntington has summed it up for me better than anyone: "The West conquered the world not because of the supremacy of its ideas, its values or its religion, but because of its supreme willingness in the application of organised violence. Westerners often forget this, Non-Westerners never!" The manufacture of weaponry must be brought under the control of states and thus, at the very least, not be yielding to a profit margin. This is the single most important contribution toward peace in this world! As long as there is a profit to be made, the search for enemies to combat will continue, and if there aren't any in sight, we in the West will create them -- through our policies!
